Laboratory Furniture: Keep Your Lab as Safe and As Efficient As Possible

August 25, 2014

We all know how laboratory furniture can be quite important to lab operations and activities. Working in a lab means having to constantly deal with sensitive chemicals and tests—and it is of utmost importance that we make use of the proper tools and equipment to ensure that things remain up to par (and for things to stay that way). Do you want to know more about this topic? Please read on…

The laboratory furniture you’re using can either make or break your lab operations. That is a fact.

Whether it may your lab tables or your fume hoods, it is essential that you are able to get furniture and equipment that will bring the most benefits. Otherwise, you might end up working in a laboratory that won’t be as efficient and as safe it should be (and you obviously don’t want that to happen).

With that in mind, here are some additional reasons as to why you should only be using the proper furniture for your laboratory:

Efficiency and Accuracy

Chances are your laboratory work will require you to undertake tests and other sensitive procedures that need to be handled with care. Unfortunately, using the wrong lab furniture or equipment puts its accuracy and efficiency at risk.

To ensure the utmost efficiency of your lab, invest in tables that are designed to withstand the chemicals that they will be constantly exposed to. Use equipment with the needed filters and features to keep contaminants at bay. In other words: study what you need and be strategic about it. This will make things better for you and your laboratory.

Comfort and Convenience

Let’s face it: working in a lab can sometimes be quite stressful. And as we already know, working in a stressful working environment may not only lead to decreased productivity, but it can also result to health problems and issues.

To make your day at work a more endurable one, invest in ergonomic furniture pieces such as adjustable tables, industrial chairs and other related options. Such pieces are designed to add comfort and convenience to the workplace, helping you avoid any unwanted issues.

Safety

Safety is another primary reason as to why you should keep your laboratory furniture in check…

Make sure that your furniture pieces are designed for heavy-duty use (in short: they must be durable). This will give you the assurance that you’ll be safe while performing lab tests and other essential activities.

Note: aside from the proper lab furniture, you should also make use of the proper safety gear, such as eye goggles, gloves, safety masks, boots and other related equipment, for added safety and security.

Laboratory Seating Key Component To A Cleanroom

June 21, 2012

A cleanroom is an environment that features a controlled level of chemical vapors, aerosol particles, airborne microbes, dust, and other environmental pollutants. Careful consideration for everything down to lab furniture is required when outfitting a cleanroom environment. Cleanroom laboratory seating allows workers to remain productive while seated. Lab chairs enable research, project work, and document preparation.

Unique Aspects of a Cleanroom

Cleanrooms range in size from very small to quite large. Some represent entire facilities, requiring all workers to wear protective clothing and use special equipment. Outside air is filtered before it enters the room, removing dust, and the inside air is subject to constant recirculation to remove contaminants generated within the cleanroom.

Though a cleanroom is not sterile, equipment used in this environment is designed to create minimal air contamination. Pencils and paper are replaced with items that create fewer environmental pollutants. Furniture, including lab chairs, has features that create a minimum of particles. Laboratory seating and other cleanroom furniture are also easy to clean. A particle counter is used to test particle levels, ensuring that they remain within a certain range.

Features of Cleanroom Seating

Cleanroom chairs are offered in different classes, designed to be equivalent to different ISO Class standards. For example, a class 1000 chair from RDM Industrial Products features chrome-plated metal parts, a task control ergonomic mechanism, vinyl upholstery recommended for cleanrooms, and vinyl seat underwrap featuring filtered exhaust ports. A class 100 chair eliminates the seat underwrap and adds Grade 2 vinyl upholstery and a Class 100 filtration system.

Standard features of these lab chairs include an upholstered seat, painted metal parts, backrest with tilt and lumbar support, adjustable height, a foot ring, and nickel plated glides. Armrests, articulating seat control, and casters are a few options. By selecting the proper class of cleanroom laboratory seating and adding desired features, comfort is achieved without presenting environmental risk.

RDM Custom Table Solutions- The Adjustable Table

January 19, 2012

In some work environments, a fixed height table is not sufficient and an adjustable table is required instead. Adjustable height tables make it convenient for workers to access and see the items they are working on. They also enable people of different heights to use the same workstation by making only a minor adjustment. When they order height adjustable tables, you can reduce the amount of furniture needed, lowering overall costs.

Adjustable height tables come in different styles designed to withstand various types of use. Standard to heavy duty tables are used in laboratories and manufacturing environments. A light to medium duty adjustable table is also suitable for a laboratory or office environment and can frequently be found in a college or university classroom.

An adjustable height table can be used as an equipment stand, microscope table, or a standard work surface. Workers in wheelchairs find it most comfortable to work at an ADA handicapped accessible adjustable table because they can adjust the work surface to the proper level for working from their chair. When they finish working, they simply raise the height of the table in order to safely remove themselves from the area.

Customers can save money by retrofitting existing tables with leg lift kits. These kits support up to 20,000 pounds and turn a stationary height table into an adjustable height table. Manual or electric operation is available and one to six cylinder versions can be found. When a light duty lift system is selected, a memory switch allows users to program their desired table height.

Height adjustable tables may contain four or more legs, depending on the size of the work surface. Adjustable table legs can be equipped with casters that allow the table to be moved. There are full-time caster tables, which provide casters (wheels) that remain in contact with the floor at all times. There are also momentary casters, which raise and lower with the frame. This style provides the best option for tables that hold heavy machinery, since the table cannot be moved around when the table legs are extended at any height. Adjustable height tables are available in many configurations and lift styles at RDM Industrial Products. Feel free to contact them for your adjustable table needs.

RDM Laminar Flow Workstations- Industrial Workbenches Featuring Clean Air Flow

November 25, 2011

Laminar flow workstations are designed for non-hazardous work like mechanical and processing duties. These industrial workbenches provide a clean air environment that is suitable for testing, laboratory work, inspection, manufacturing, or pharmaceutical environments. Clean, HEPA-filtered air flows over the work area, protecting the items being used.

Industrial workbenches that feature energy-efficient HEPA units reduce ongoing electricity costs. Fans may have speed control options, allowing the user to regulate the amount of air supplied to the industrial benches. High-efficiency HEPA filters are proven 99.99 percent efficient with 0.3 micro particles. Pre-filters that can be snapped into place make maintenance and replacement much easier.

Fans included in these work benches should be quiet so as not to distract the user. A 50 dBA fan is extremely quiet, making it perfect for this environment. Installing thick acrylic panels on the rear and sides of an industrial workbench seals the perimeter and an air flow shield adds to the efficiency. With a teardrop shaped, sealed fluorescent light fixture, the area is illuminated without creating an additional place for particulates to gather.

These industrial workbenches are usually compatible with 115v of power and cords can be plugged into a standard 20A duplex outlet. They come in several standard sizes but manufacturers can also specify custom dimensions including the height of the work surface. Top options include surfaces with features like chemical resistance and ESD/static control. Cleanroom and heavy manufacturing styles of work benches can also be found. Optional accessories include drawers, cabinets, bin panels, and power strips.

Being able to customize industrial workbenches ensures that this furniture meets the needs of the work environment. Laminar flow industrial benches provide a steady flow of particulate-free air. Quiet fan operation, variable fan speed, an assortment of work surface materials, and customized dimensions are just a few of the personalization options offered by some manufacturers. Please contact RDM Industrial Products today to request your Clean Air Workstation.
